In hope of one day securing some real lab space, purvislab.org
has become a virtual home to the various projects and personalities
I've encountered during my lifetime in Academia.
It also allows me to shamelessly promote myself while searching
for a postdoc.
Most of my research efforts involve some type of computational
approach to understanding signal transduction in biological
systems. Specifically, our work has led to insights into human
platelet activation and oncogenic signaling via the epidermal
growth factor receptor. A long-term goal is to use these
computational techniques to generate accurate, quantitative
models of signaling systems that may be used to design patient-specific
therapies.
My modern inspirations include work by Michael
Yaffe, Kevin
Janes, Doug Lauffenburger,
Boris
Kholodenko, and many others. Older inspirations include
giants like Gauss
and Fourier.
